What is cookie?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on the customer’s computer. Their purpose is to enable certain functions of webpages. The retention period of cookies on the customer’s devices is divided into two groups: Most cookies are deleted from the customer’s hard disk after the session (session cookies). Some cookies may remain on the customer’s computer. These cookies enable Visit Ylläs (the Controller) to identify the customer’s computer when the customer visits the site again (permanent cookies).

The customer cannot be identified on the basis of cookies alone, but together with other information, it may be possible to link them to a certain customer. In such cases, cookies may be considered personal data. We do not seek to identify customers by using cookies. If identification is possible, it is our duty to ensure that cookie data is processed as personal data in accordance with the applicable data protection laws.

Cookies and other similar technologies do not harm the user’s terminal devices or files. They cannot be used to spread viruses and they do not enable analysis of data on the user’s hard drive.
